JUULing E-Cigarettes Is Crazy Popular Among Teens: What Parents Need to Know

When electronic cigarettes were first introduced a decade ago, they seemed like a *slightly* better alternative to traditional tobacco cigarettes: less mess, less smell, less cancer-causing substances to be inhaled, same nicotine high. While the “benefits” of “vaping” instead of “smoking” may be true, the fact is that nicotine addiction is still bad for you, even if it comes without that traditional cigarette-smell stigma and a super cool smoke that looks more like steam. And, as vices do, this one has found it’s way to HUGE popularity with today’s teens, thanks to a sleek e-cigarette called the JUUL. Now, all the cool kids in school aren’t vaping, they’re JUULing.

So what IS JUULing?

JUULing is simply smoking an e-cigarette, but a specific one, the JUUL. The JUUL is super-popular among teens because it is so VERY easy to conceal; it is virtually smokeless,  and looks exactly like a USB drive your kid might use to transfer information from their home computer to their school computer.
